Korcula Blog

I was reading yesterday about some pieces of concrete that are falling from roof of the house formerly known as “Robna Kuca” (translated as “Department Store”) in Korcula and that some people narrowly escaped serious consequences…

This is the large and gray, sort of derilic house, having that 60’s (pre-freedom) look, located at Korcula’s east pier/ harbour. You will spot that house if you come to wait to embark ferries to Dubrovnik or Split or catamaran to Hvar and Split. It is located on the left hand side, just bellow Korcula Old Town’s walls, accross the road from Pizzeria “Cinciculjak”.

That house belongs to local company (I am not going to name it and shame it) that is not using it , and not looking after it either, so it seems that, after all these years of neglect, house is slowly giving up!

This house is forming a large shade on the pier so people tent to gather around it while waiting for ferries to escape strong sunshine and heat.

I’m not shure what (if anything) local authorities are doing regarding this danger, but I feel alarmed and obliged to worn visitors of my page, and everybody else, not to go near this house as you can be hit by piece of concrete falling from above

So please,look after yourself and keep well clear !!!!
